About Zetland Primary School

Zetland Primary School is a mixed state primary in Redcar and Cleveland, currently home to 196 pupils against a capacity of 210, so it is running close to full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 33.3%, which is notably higher than the national average and reflects the local demographic context. Demand for places is clear: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 23 applications for 16 places, with 15 of those coming as first preferences, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.44. This suggests that despite being a relatively small school, it holds a strong local reputation. Headteacher Alexa O'Gara leads a school that caters for children aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision available. The school does not have a religious character, and its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in November 2024, confirmed that standards are being maintained, building on a previous graded inspection in 2014 that rated overall effectiveness as Good.
